Today on “Pillow or Bear Trap”…

Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.

It also became memeable and noteworthy because it’s it’s drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.

Nowadays it’s so divorced from it’s context that it’s essentially just a meme.

I used to do Renaissance Faires.

“Wild Mountain Thyme” was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

Best Jeanist approves this message.

I stand corrected.

The irony of the title is still true, though.

All 13 of Erebus’s Black Crusades aren’t better. >…>

The Horus Heresy. When you see what the Emperor’s vision actually was, and really get to compare it to the galaxy they got, it’s just… so much worse. And the galaxy is pretty goddamn bad to begin with. But you know there’s a special place at the very bottom of hell for Erebus.

Magnus did nothing wrong and Russ has fleas.

Which fuckin’ god? The one that (if you believe in) sent the ten plagues? And the flood? And burned two major cities? And that’s just in the book where he’s supposedly the good guy?

Is she gay or European?

Any excuse to further marginalize young people and exclude them from society. Fellow old people never fail to disappoint me.

If you haven’t played StS: Downfall yet you should.

… Is a symmetrical pair too much to ask for?

I read Twilight as a pre publication galley.

Spent three quarters of the book waiting for it to be about something and just gave up.

I don’t care that it was written by a woman. I care that it’s a fucking awful book with a vapid plot and the rest of the series glorifies abusive relationships like it’s Fifty Shades for teens.

Go read Ursula LeGuin or Holly Black instead.

I barely remember that show. Was that his character’s name?

I’ve always thought the name Buchanan sounded… Not cool per se but… Atmospheric? Like it could only belong to one of those old-money families up to their eyeballs in secret societies and mystery.

In an at-will state, which I think is most or all of them.

Right-to-work is different; it means you can’t be required to join a union in order to take a job.

Nah.

I legit loved him in Barbie. Not even kidding. Like, the guy has made an entire career out of playing the forgettable Everyman, and he just lampshaded the fuck out of it. Low key hilarious.
